Run every purchase to award from one operations room.
Sourcing opens as a full-screen operations room: five stage racks with live money gauges, a ranked next-moves queue, a chase list, a shared notes wall, and a Vera email console. One click scores every waiting bid against your weighted requirements, each score anchored to a quote from the bid document.
A competitive sourcing event lives in a dozen email threads, a scoring spreadsheet, and someone’s memory of who still owes a bid. Things slip between the cracks between stages. The Control Room puts the whole event on one board the team reads together, and drafts the email each stage needs.
Intake to award, without the event living in your inbox.
One front door for new spend, one room to run the whole thing.
By form or email, with AI triage: net-new, renewal, duplicate, or over threshold. Catch the duplicate tool request before the second contract gets signed.
Five stage racks with live money gauges, a ranked next-moves queue, a chase list, a shared notes wall and shift log, and a Vera email console. Run every purchase to award from one room.
One click scores every waiting bid against your weighted requirements, each score anchored to a quote from the bid document. A folder of supplier PDFs becomes a ranked, defensible matrix in minutes.
Every sourcing record leads with the computed next move and the email that stage needs, drafted by Vera from the live numbers: kickoff, invitations, the Q&A broadcast, chases, the recommendation memo, award and decline notes.
It scores the bids and writes the stage’s email.
The AI reads every bid against your weighted requirements and anchors each score to a specific quote in the document, so the ranking is defensible, not a gut call. Then the What Next desk computes the next move for each record and drafts the email that stage needs from the live numbers, so a stage closes in two clicks.
Built to run a real event, together.
The Control Room is an operations surface, grounded and shared, not a form workflow.
Each stage rack carries a live gauge of the money in play, so the room always shows where value sits and where it is at risk, not just which box a request is in.
The whole team reads and writes the same board, with a shift log, so a sourcing event survives a handoff without losing the thread.
Bid scoring quotes the passage each score came from, so the evaluation is auditable and defensible to a losing supplier or an internal reviewer.
Requests are classified at the front door as net-new, renewal, duplicate, or over threshold, so duplicates and renewals are caught before a second contract is signed.
The stage emails are drafted and sent from a console inside the Control Room, grounded in the record’s numbers, so the correspondence never leaves the board for a personal inbox.
Close a stage and send the right email in two clicks.
Chasing bids, building the scoring matrix by hand, and writing every kickoff and decline note is the slow, thankless middle of a sourcing event. The room ranks the bids and writes the emails, so the event moves.
Estimate your own hours →An operations room, not an intake form.
Procurement suites and shared drives both leave the running of the event to email and memory.
A source-to-pay suite tracks the request through approval gates. It does not score the bids against your weights, draft the stage email, or show the money in play on one board.
The event living in threads and a scoring sheet is exactly where bids get missed and stages stall. The room is the shared board that keeps it moving.
A consultant runs the event and takes the method with them. The Control Room hands the method to your team, event after event, with the scoring and the emails built in.
Business value, and the operational value under it.
One line for the board paper, and the day to day the team actually feels.
- A defensible award: bids scored on your weights, anchored to quotes, auditable to a losing supplier.
- Duplicate and overlapping purchases caught at intake, before a second contract is signed.
- Faster events, so value is captured while the leverage of a live competition still exists.
- The sourcing method owned by your team, not rented from a consultant per event.
- The whole event on one board the team reads together, surviving handoffs.
- A ranked scoring matrix from a folder of PDFs in minutes.
- The email each stage needs already drafted from the live numbers.
- A chase list and money gauges, so nothing stalls unnoticed.
